Vin Diesel reprises his star-making Pitch Black role of enigmatic
anti-hero Richard B. Riddick in the new science fiction
action-adventure epic, The Chronicles of Riddick.
Riddick has spent the last five years on the move among the
forgotten worlds on the outskirts of the galaxy, eluding
mercenaries bent on collecting the price on his head. Now, the
fugitive finds himself on planet Helion, home to a progressive
multicultural society that has been invaded by the Lord Marshal, a
despot who targets humans for subjugation with his army of warriors
known as Necromongers.
Exiled to a subterranean prison where extremes of temperature range
from arctic nights to volcanic days, Riddick encounters Kyra, the
lone survivor from an earlier chapter in his life. His efforts to
free himself and Kyra lead him to the Necromonger command ship,
where he is pitted against the Lord Marshal in an apocalyptic
battle with possibly the fate of all beings-- both living and dead
-- hanging in the balance.
Written and directed by David Twohy, The Chronicles of Riddick is
produced by Scott Kroopf and Vin Diesel. Ted Field, George Zakk and
David Womark serve as executive producers.
comments:
I never thought vin diesel could act, but he does look kinda cool
bald.
the plot wasn't riveting enuff, but somehow the movie didn't seem
to drag on with me ho-humming thru, even tho the duration was over
2 hours.
i would either watch it if i really had to pass time, or just
needed to watch a movie for the sake of it, and had nothing else to
watch, or wait for the dvd/vcd/kazaa? 
watch out for vin's really crass punch lines, like: "it's an animal
thing". if u didn't wince, then u're not normal.
also, they're running out of names or something? "necromongers"?
sounds like the pple whose trade is that of selling
skeletons....
